Configuring DMZ Settings

If you have a local client computer that cannot run an Internet application properly behind
the NAT firewall, you can configure it for unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining it
as a Virtual Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) host. Adding a client to the DMZ may expose your
local network to various security risks because the client in the DMZ is not protected by the
firewall.
To access the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) menu, click Firewall in the menu bar and then click
the DMZ submenu in the menu bar. Figure 53 shows an example of the menu.
Note: The DMZ submenu is not available in the menu bar if Enable Firewall Module is
disabled in the Security Settings (Firewall) menu (see page 73).
To configure DMZ settings:
1. In the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) menu, check Enable DMZ Host. The 2 rightmost fields
next to this option become available.
2. Enter the last two octets in the IP addresses of the computer to be used as the DMZ
server.
3. Click Apply.
